Papers must be submitted via the DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM EASYCHAIR INSTANCE. Submissions should be pdf documents formatted according to the Springer LNCS style specified in the UMAP 2014 Call for Papers: Style files, templates, and details about the format can be found at Springer LNCS site.

Important dates
Paper submission: 7th March 2014
Notification to authors: 28th March 2014
Camera ready submission: 14th April 2014
Students are expected to document in a brief submission their doctoral research (see above described submission information for further details), which will be evaluated by the consortium committee. Good quality applications will be selected to be presented at a dedicated workshop as part of the conference. Promising, but less well-developed applications will be selected for presentation at a poster session. Each student with an accepted application will be assigned a mentor who will provide feedback on the student's work and will discuss the doctoral research with the student and the audience at the consortium.
